| | Sounds like a plan! Would love to hear what you catch. I wouldn't yak in the pass. Tons of big charters in and out of there. You're a badder man than me. |

| | There will be no kayaking. I wish I had one to paddle around the lagoon, and some of the docks around the canals...I will doing mostly surf fishing, walking the jetty at the pass, and maybe some wading, or walking around shelby lakes...I'm stoked about the trip, and there will be a full TR upon my arrival... sometimes the pass makes a 23 footer feel small!!!!

| | Any luck Josh? My fater-in-law snuck down to OB and caught a slot red, 3lb sheepshead, and a bunch of blues in the pass over the weekend... hoping you did even better. |

| | I'll post my report here, instead of wasting space in the report section. This trip was rare in the fact that fishing didn't come first. It was a friend of mines birthday, so I kinda let them dictate what went on at the beach. I tried some surf fishing to no avail. The surf on Thursday and Friday was rough, there were no birds to speak of, so I was just chunking some shrimp out and letting it sit. I pondered going down to the pass, but bikini clad babes, and cold beer kept me planted on the beach. As the conditions began to calm, I took out some lighter tackle, and some artificial again to no avail. I was able to help a guy out who had never surf fished at all. The only constructive thing I was able to do was take the tandem spec rig off of his 8' heavy action surf rod and rig up a bottom rig for him. I wish I had more to report, but this weekend was all about getting away from the hustle and bustle and I found myself in a relaxed state I haven't experienced in awhile. The weather was perfect, the food was great, the women were hot and the beer was cold! I will be making some weekend trips soon to get my fish on, and I will have a better report as far as fishing goes. Stay tuned to this thread and when I get my pics loaded I will put some up of how the trip went! I Hope I didn't disappoint ya'll....

| | So even though I didn't do much fishing, I decided to go ahead and post up some pics of my trip down to Gulf Shores, AL. 
The truck with all of my rods. 
getting rigged up for a little evening surf fishing. (i'm on the right) 
Un-productive surf fishing! Very productive relaxation!!! 
This lil lady kept my mind off of fishing! 
Taking advantage of decent surf on Friday and Saturday! 
Chillin' at LuLu's on Saturday night with my girl. The trip over all was great. I'm actually looking into job opportunities downt there, and I have been looking at some apartments...maybe a move is in my near future!
